I'll leave the value question up to others.

The white plastic grips were definitely not original. I'm not sure what you mean about a dimple but I do not see evidence in your photos of the slot that was cut in frames above the left grip to accommodate a magazine safety. This is a bit unusual since most of the Lugers issued to the LJ were fitted with both sear and magazine safeties. It is possible that yours had one that was removed and the slot very skillfully filled in. One certain way to tell is to remover the side plate and see if there is a 1/4" hole drilled through the frame above the trigger. If not, it never had a mag safety. Even if it never had one, that is rare but OK.
